Today we continue work in the little lab of Manyara Secondary School located in the region of Manyara, about 2 hours north of Arusha. Their setup is about 5 dell GX150 computers an a 5 headed linux box setup by Michigan state. Neat stuff, the machine is sponsored by the school and has a tech visit it every 6 months. Internet is provided as well but only works from 8:30am to 3:30pm, I believe by satellite. We are working on repairing the GX150s, reinstalling software and getting some training in as well. Currently power is on and off quite frequently, we were working on getting a generator setup this morning but the power luckily came back on!
Tomorrow is our first full day of vacation since we’ve arrived, we head off on a 2 day Safari, one day at the Ngorogoro and one day in Manyara. We then head back to Arusha to work on a 5th computer lab before the end of our trip (as GTA-WWU, many of us are continuing onward for a few days of personal travel before returning to the states).
Since the internet is so slow pictures are still not a possibility, I think I will come back and edit in pics for each of the posts when I return in October. All for now,
-Chris
